How do you pronounce Haguichi?

I'm experiencing problems using Haguichi. What should I do?

First, please try to figure out what is causing the problem. When you are reasonably sure Haguichi is the cause, and NOT the Hamachi client or your network infrastructure, then submit a bug report for Haguichi on Launchpad or contact me directly.

Haguichi keeps losing connection every X minutes. How to solve this?

Actually, it's the Hamachi² client that is losing connection. It seems that this problem is fixed since version 2.0.1.15 so make sure you're at least running this version. If this doesn't work out try to get in contact with LogMeIn.

Does Haguichi support the Hamachi² client for Linux that is currently in Beta?

Yes, since version 1.0.0 it does!

Where do I find Haguichi in my applications menu?

Haguichi should appear in the ‘Internet’ section of your applications menu. Sometimes the menu entry isn't visible directly after installation. In that case logging out and then logging back in usually solves the problem.

What languages does Haguichi support?

The latest version of Haguichi supports Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

Can I use Haguichi on my KDE desktop?

Yes, you can!

Does Haguichi run on Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows?

Nope.

How can I chat with people in my Hamachi network?

The Hamachi client on Linux doesn’t support chat by itself. But fortunately you can chat with people in your network using an application like Pidgin (using ‘Bonjour protocol’) or Empathy (using ‘People nearby’) on both ends.

How can I start or stop the Hamachi daemon without having to enter my password?

For Hamachi 0.9.9.9-20 add the line username ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/tuncfg to the end of the file /etc/sudoers where username is your actual username.
For Hamachi² add the line username ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi to the end of the file /etc/sudoers where username is your actual username.
